If you don't like the weather this week, wait 5 minutes and it will change. We will be on a roller coaster ride with temperatures. There will be warm rains and cold winds and maybe even some light wintry precipitation. Today was spring like and light showers are possible through the early evening. Tonight through Thursday are winter like with cold temperatures, windy conditions and some light wintry precipitation Wednesday morning. Temperatures turn spring like Friday with rain during the day Saturday. Temperatures drop quickly Saturday night and the rain may end as some light snow Sunday morning.

Forecast Discussion

A cold front will move through early this evening. There will be a few showers ahead of the front and the temperatures will be spring like. Winds will be gusty from the northwest early this evening and remain gusty overnight.

Cold high pressure settles in tomorrow. The winds die down a little. A weak wave of low pressure develops over the south central US and moves east northeast bringing clouds and light precipitation. Since the air is cold ahead of it, there could be a mix of rain, snow and sleet Wednesday morning but amounts will be light. Temperatures warm just enough for a cold light rain Wednesday afternoon.

Skies clear Wednesday night and Thursday remains chilly. Much warmer air will begin to move in Thursday night and Friday will feature spring like temperatures ahead of a cold front moving in from the west. Temperatures remain spring like Saturday during the daytime with occasional rain. The front moves through Saturday night with much colder air behind it. Rain may end as snow before all is said and done. Sunday returns to winter like temperatures and wind.
